Unreadable pages

For some reason, there are certain threads which for the past 30 minutes have been unreadable. In some cases, they just appear as a long list of code, at other times I am giving this notice by my browser:
The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because it uses an invalid or unsupported form of compression.

* Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem.

Perhaps the problem is at my end, so please try to see if you can read it.

May be at your end. Try a reboot. I got first message as follows (red did not pick up in my copy but was there):

Budget/Delta 3K for 1-day rental until Dec 31, 2009 - MUAZ002

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I searched both the DL forum and the Budget forum and could not find any matches for MUAZ002. Sorry if I missed this. Got an email today from Budget. Oddly, the promotional period is March 31, 2009 through December 31, 2009. ???? The email also had a link marked "Register" but it looks like there is no registration for this promotion. I think the link should have read "Rent Not" because you end up here.

https://www.budget.com/budgetWeb/htm...medallion.html

The T&C do not say you must use the BCD code but it also does not say that the offer is good with any BCD code. I would guess any BCD code will work. I suspect that the banter in this thread will be about BCD codes and "participating airport locations where Delta flies". Post your successes and I will edit mile marker #1 with a list.

Red bolding is mine.

It is very strange. There are some threads, like the one I cited above, which come up as code. There are others which do not load at all. There are still more, like this one, which are fine.

This is true if I use IE or Firefox on my PC.

When I go to my laptop, "My FlyerTalk" shows up only as code.

I am not, however, having any problem with other websites.

I’m having no problem in clearly viewing the thread so the issue might be at your end.

I’m currently viewing FT with Firefox 3.5.3 and on a Mac.

The problem ended while I was sleeping. Either FT fixed something or my IP did.
